| Install OpenVPN and create virtual private network. This example is based on the environment below. ( [172.16.2.1] is private range's IP, but I use it to explain, pleae look it as your own grobal IP.) (1) VPN Server [172.16.2.1] - Grobal IP address [192.168.0.17] - eth0 [192.168.0.4] - br0 - create it for bridge (2) VPN Client(Windows) [10.0.0.2] - original one [192.168.0.??] - given from VPN server By the way, it's neccesary to set some configs on your router for NAT/Port forwarding. The used protocol and listening port by default on VPN server is UDP/1194. Speaking on an example here, a request to 1194 with UDP from internet is needed to forward to 192.168.0.4/1194 in LAN. | |
